Rectory School

an independent, coed junior boarding (5-9) and day school (k-9). rectory is located on a beautiful, 138-acre landscape with rolling fields and beautiful trees. rectory students are eager: eager to improve, eager to reflect, eager to try. with support, guidance, attention, and belief from the adults who surround them-- they do the hard work to not only understand themselves, but also to be a part of an active community of young people. together we are committed to a simple idea: each of us has something to learn... and something to offer. our promise: to build a foundation of core academic skills, create powerful learning experiences, both inside and outside the classroom, and foster strong ethical and social values. the result: students who understand themselves and the world around them. students who speak frankly about their strengths... and where they need to improve. students who aren't just ready for their next school... they are ready for life. rectory promotes diversity: geographic (u. s. 70 %, international 30 %), economic, cultural, racial, ethnic, and religious. members of the rectory school have built a warm, nurturing community. we are within 45 minutes of three major cities, 1 1/2 hours from boston, and 3 hours from nyc. rectory gives over one million dollars in financial aid annually. we encourage the spark in our students that ignites their desire to excel.
